And we're under way!

Phew, another busy day at the Gatchel's! After a late night last night (Noah made it up through the whole ceremony and saw them light the torch) the boys were off this morning to see the new Lego Movie as a treat for the award Noah earned at school this week. Grant says he LOVED it. The Bean and I were here hanging out (she's got a bit of a cough and I decided to keep her with me this morning instead of venturing to the theater) and while she watched Barbie as the Little Mermaid, I took advantage of the time to finish the California scrapbook page and make some pierogi. Grant has decided that between the movie and fresh pierogi for dinner today is pretty much the best day ever.

We also held our first event today - curling! Okay, our version of curling. Probably a little more shuffleboard than curling, but we all had fun. After 2 rounds there was a tie for first and we had to have a shoot-out between Grant and Noah. You'll have to see below who won :)

Tonight we're working on a couple of school projects, watching some Olympics and just hanging out. Tomorrow looks like some more of the same and a wrap up of California week with the making of some love bead necklaces. Until then...

California Fun Fact of the Day: If California's economic size were measured by itself to other countries, it would rank the 7th largest economy in the world.

WANTED!

Last Known Whereabouts: Lurking around Farmington Hills, Michigan, keeping an eye on her newly appointed trackers, Noah and Mikayla Gatchel

Feared Future Plans: Stealing each of the 50 U.S. states to put them under the direction of BAD

About Nita

Prior to her escape, MOMG had heard rumors of Nita’s plans to attempt to steal all fifty of the United States. Intelligence shows that Direction has long been planning her thieving scheme.

Direction is well known for her burglary and theft skills. She is a master of blending into her surroundings and familiarizing herself with her terrain and becoming a ‘local’. She is devoted to researching her target before striking and is known for her patience. She is not thought to be dangerous, simply sneaky. Citizens are asked not to attempt to make contact with Nita if spotted, she spooks easily and could be lost.

Burglars and Delinquents (BAD)

Nita is the boss of the crime syndicate BAD. The detectives should expect BAD to assist Nita in her plans.

Ministry of Modern Goodness (MOMG)

The Ministry is tasked with protecting all 50 of the United States. They are enlisting the help of the Gatchel Detectives to capture Miss Direction
